The new date for Take Care is November 15th, 2011. I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone. So I have completed 19 songs (17 on physical and 2 on bonus), and have run into a roadblock of clearing 3 samples in time to make the October 24th date. My options were to take the songs off and make the birthday release happen, or to take an extra couple weeks to get the paper work right and give you the album they way I NEED you to hear it. The choice was clear as day for me. November 15th you will get Take Care the exact way I created it with no trimmings. This music means too much to me to get attached to dates and I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together. Club Paradise Tour will also be moved to when students are back from the Christmas/New Year break so that I can get to more schools. New dates will be released in the next week...see you all soon.

Please come to Horn Lake high School in Mississippi. It would mean a lot to the Graduating class. I understand that you are a busy guy but would you take this into consideration. Thats all I'm asking. -Byron Glover

Thank you for taking the extra time, with your fans in mind, to create a master piece that we could enjoy, and that you can be proud of....I'm a little bummed about the push back, but I kno when it comes out, its gonna blow up!!!. I love you so much Drake and I can't wait....- Take Care/Nov.15 :):):):):)

That actually works out perfect, because you'll clean up on Black Friday sells which will boost Take Care album sells.... We'll all benefit... a complete story to soothe our souls and another way to stay on top! Until then... The Weeknd keeps me calm..

this bull shit at its best. they first promise us "its never enough mixtap" then they canceled it ,now after a long wait for the album they extend the release date.this is bullshit.im an addict to drakes music. they owe as a sorry for the push release date mixtap"

Not gonna lie, I'm so sad right now because I've been waiting for another Drake album since Thank Me Later but I completely understand. I admire that you are willing to push back the date to give your fans the best music that you can instead of releasing the album and hoping that it's good enough. Looking forward to it! #TakeCare

I doubt you will read this but PLEASE do so. Better late than never. Its understandable. It's absolutely indescribable how excited I am for Take Care. Your music means the world to me. What makes you so different is how REAL you are and how you put your character into your music. I'd rather have it the way YOU meant for it to be than incomplete or not as good as it could have been. Things are going to be so different after Take Care. You make a great impact on all your fans perspectives. Your music always reminds me to never lose hope. Keep doing you and don't change for anyone! There is one thing I ask and it would make my life complete if you added a date to the Club Paradise Tour for ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO!!! I wouldn't miss it for the world. Please put that into consideration! You're nothing short of amazing. Until November 15th, Take Care.

I'm really upset that the date got moved again, but you do what you gotta do. I know this album is gonna be mind blowing, your gonna kill it Drake<3 I love you more than anything <3 I can't wait until November 15th<333 Take Care. - Layla Elmenayer

I was excited for the 24th cause that's my number! But it's all good....at least it's for a good reason. I'm sure if they are true fans, they'd understand. We all want to hear your music the way you want us to. I can't wait! November 15th it is! :) Counting down the days!!! Take Care.

I love you drake. You are so inspirational to me. I never buy cds.. ever. I just usually download and burn them for friends. But your cd will be the 1st cd I buy in a long time. Hit me up on twitter @diamond_stayfab

You dumb bastards talking about Young Money--this is ALL DRAKE's FAULT. This aint got jack to do with YM! Drake's been doing things his way and you see how late, backwards and confusing the roll out has been.

Slapdash mess in this bitch, wassssup!!

All the lean, tats, sloppy roll out of singles, late videos etc--that's all DRAKE and Operation Toronto. If anything, YM has given him too much freedom. It's clear he don't really know what the fug he's doing.

These artists need to hear the TRUTH and not be coddled by all the d-riding stans!! GET IT TOGETHER DRAKE!!

Drizzy, I waited impatiently on October 24 but it doesn't matter, I'd wait on November 15. Great! It's two days after my Bday. You can come in Martinique (French island in the Caribbean) and go to Bellevue High School. I want that to happen too! ♥ :)

OKAY. EVERYONE who's sayin " your fucking up Drake..' YOU STFU! Hes doing this to BENEFIT you! If you were a REAL fan you would WAIT!Rome wasnt built in a DAY.. god damnn...love u Drake! NOVEMBER 15th! Cool cool waiting on your GENIUS to flood my ears!<3

Drake I Needed This Album Sooner Than Oct 24th and You Moved it. But its All Good , BUT can You Atleast Drop Something That Won't Be On The Album For The Fans Bcuz Of The Wait , Like You Did For Thank Me Later , With 9 a.m in Dallas? Just For The Fans. We Need Something. Drop The Track On Oct. 24th .

@Drake How are you tonight? I'm good. I got back from Mesquite and kind of tired. I was listening to Pandora, and I didn't realized that you had a song with Timbaland. "Say Something..." came on the radio, then I heard you on there too. Is that Aubrey Graham? It was MOST Awesome!!! :)

Anyway... November 15th? Well, like I said before, don't do anything impulsive. Take your time on take care. :) I don't think anyone is in any rush. Concert dates can be changed. People can exchange their tickets and get refunds. People can re-purchase tickets. It all works out in the end. When Take Care comes out, whenever it does, and when Club Paradise tour starts it will be brilliant.

So are you having any new songs on? What are you doing that's taking so much time? Will you show us? I like the letters, but you still never say "I love you" (that's cool, but you never say it)... See you soon (that's lame)... :) Twitter sounds so automated though, it's great to see you write a REAL letter. OVO site is the real you. :) Well, Nov. 15 no pressure. Don't work too hard. Have a great night. :)Love ya,-M

dont rush...all good things will come for those who wait..we understand you turmoil that had brung you to this decision It will be beneficial to all who want to listen, soak, and live the lyrics that inspires you to tell the story..(full circle)from odie

I blame this one on Pandora. Since the song came on Pandora, it's not my fault. :) I have to do this. I'm going to torture all your fans with the lyrics to "Say Something", and the youtube link for the video. It's a must see. The girl in the video is really cute (reminds me of ...hmm myself)?

SAY SOMETHING

This shit was all I knew, you and me only, and I did it all for you, still you were lonely, we coulda worked it out,

uhh, but i guess things change, its funny how someone else’s success brings pain, when ya no longer involved that person has it all, and you just stuck standing there,

[Timbaland] Yeah, it really sucks but ever since I’ve been long gone, I traded in my senorita for a microphone, I hate the way you fell apart girl, its sad to see, your life is good but me and you we a catastrophe, if I was unsuccess-ful would you be satisfied, I need a paramedic girl, I’m feeling paralyzed, if I could choose, you will always be a friend to me, the more money I made you actin like my enemy, its crazy, I can’t help it if you feel ashamed, lots of pressure will turn you into my diamond jade, how can something so familiar be so strange, closest friends get estranged when your status change, ahh, is it my mistake, think that where I am and where you at, and my whole wild … is the only one that had my back, you were the perfect girl and now it seems we don’t match, is it the money, want me to give it back

[Drake] (Chorus) This sh-t was all I knew, you and me only, and I did it all for you, still you were lonely, we coulda worked it out,

uhh, but i guess things change, its funny how someone else’s success brings pain, when ya no longer involved that person has it all, and you just stuck standing there,

Uhh, i am the topic of conversation, this a celebration, lets toast to the fact that I moved out my momma basement, to a condo downtown because its all about location, I sit and drink wine and watch californication of life, you shoulda been here to kick it with me, we coulda split this whole thing up 50/50, but now i’m at the 40/40 getting bitches tipsy, killing shit the ever so talented Mr Ripley, how I go from being the man that you argue with, to me and Dwayne Carter putting out the hardest shit, I should wanna go back to the one I started with, but I’m addicted to this life its gonna be hard to quit, yeah, just ask me how things are coming along, you can tell me that you never heard none of my songs, long as you end up saying one day you plan to listen, cus whats a star when its most important fan is missing'

[Drake] (Chorus) This shit was all I knew, you and me only, and I did it all for you, still you were lonely, we coulda worked it out,

uhh, but i guess things change, its funny how someone else’s success brings pain, when ya no longer involved that person has it all, and you just stuck standing there,

As excited I was for the album to come out in october, I can still wait, patience is a virtue. I totally respect and adore you! Much love and please visit london! And please do follow me back on twitter @MousGraham ;*

Still keep the celebration going..your birthday is coming.. What are your plans to celebrate another year of being inspired,knowing that u have family who will always have your back,always telling your stories true without reservation or hesitation,and trying to be true to u..keep shining but dont be consumed...(full circle)odie

Fuck that nigga im on yo music crazy...so you remember how many times you pushed back Thank me Later get that shit together....But you still the best Artist Alive...N put out a single with The Weeknd for me n coming soon OVOXO-Real Music Gang

The push-back is understandable. And respectable. I'd rather hear the complete version as well, instead of something rushed and unorganic. So thank you for still believing in taking your time, which has yet to be said among your counterparts.

A Clockwork Orange, originally had 21 chapters. American publishing companies cut out the last chapter, in Anthony Burgess's classic, he felt it was ruined. The last chapter left people understanding life than questioning it. Like you said, take you time.

I'm from the states, but have been living in Toronto for almost 2 months. The vibes from Your Music here are powerful.

Very dissapointed that it got pushed back. I was really looking forward to it coming out, but it's all good much love and respect for drake. I can feel that this albums gonna go down in the books! -OVOXO TILL WE OD.

Drake' <3 come to Los Angeles All the people in LA would really appreciate it,,,Bring The Club Paradise Tour to LA too, & November 15, 2011 can't wait Take Care Finally the world will get to listen to it & I will finally get it ^_^
